The AS designation comes from the fact that the airplane was fitted with the Daimler Benz DB605 AS(M) engine, which featured the larger DB603 supercharger. The engine was optimized for high altitude flying and performance.

Cheers Hardcore. I'll try and find it.. In the mean time, i've found a Montex decal set on Hannants of a Bf109 G6/R6 from 3./JG300. Looks like a nice scheme and has the underwing 20mm cannons too. Should be able too do that one from the standard kit.

Damn! I really want to do a nightfighter (NJGr or JG300) build to go with all the other ones i am planning. Thanks anyway. Best i keep looking.

P.S. There's an opening for an AM conversion if ever i saw one lol

You can do a G-6/AS from the Hasegawa G-10. You'll need to remove the bumps on the lower cowl, use the small wheel bumps on the wing, early wheels, source some G-6 propeller blades and do some minor scribing. Probably a couple of minor mods that I'm forgetting. Kyrre did a really nice Bf 109G-5/U2 which is basically a G-6/AS seen here:
